UK rumour - Brexit minister David Davis reported to have resigned

Easy, easy GBP pips to be had.

Davis resignation comes amid reports of a split in the UK government on the plan May announced at Chequers

  • A second minister has also resigned, Steve Baker gone

The split is approaching a point where a challenge to May is ratcheting much higher in probabilities. I've gotten tired of all the 'challenge' reports over past months and months and months. But now … look out!
